i do this. its more of a flexible failover solution:

    def open_store n=""
      d = File.dirname(__FILE__)
      c = YAML.load( File.open( d+'/.c' ) ) || {'store' => 'bdb'}
      t = c['store'] || "mysql"
      @store ||= (case t
                  when "bdb"
                    Redland::HashStore.new(hash_type='bdb',name='db',dir=d, want_new=false,write=true,contexts=false)
                  else
                    Redland::TripleStore.new("#{t}",'m',"host='#{c['host'] || "localhost"}',database='#{c['db']}',user='#{c['user']}',#{c['pass'] ? "password='#{c['pass']}'," : ""}reconnect='yes'#{n}")
                  end)
    end
    def start
      begin
        open_store
      rescue Redland::RedlandError
        puts "creating new store"
        open_store ",new='yes'"
      end
      @model ||= Redland::Model.new(@store)
    end


all :start on app launch..

for config, theres a file named '.c' (.* and *.db is in .gitignore)

store: mysql
db: lottastuf
user: user
pass: pass

among other things if youre using a sql store, and it can connect but the schema doesnt exist, it creates it for you. if it can't connect, its just going to fail twice, but otherwise nothing will be harmed. likewise you don't even need the '.c' file then it just defaults to a bdb in the homedir. some of this could proably be added to the bindings to make them more supple, but thats way down my todo list :)
